Anderson absolutely stole that game. Hope he comes back down to Earth for game 7. Pens could have had 4 or 5 goals in the second period. Hats off to Ottawa, they're much tougher than I thought they would be coming in to the series.

Yes he was outstanding.   I had a very bad feeling after the Pens had dominated so completely in the 2nd period but only had 1 goal to show for it.

I am obviously biased -- but I have a hard time believing that anyone would think that Sens / Preds would be more entertaining hockey than Pens / Preds. Of course I get the Pens-hate angle, but they are damn fun to watch regardless of whether you want them to win or lose. No more neutral zone trap please.

I wish they could both lose

 
I'd like to see some Nashville on Canada crime in the SCF. Feck Pittsburgh.

Really like this Preds squad. Think Rinne is going to play great in the SCF too.

This in itself is what makes hockey playoffs so great - just get a ticket and anything can happen.

You know the SCF games will typically start at 8:00.  Are you planning to watch?

I'm just quoting Sam Elliott in Big Lebowski. 

I really was just rooting for Game Seven so I could watch hockey on Thursday. Of course, fans of the teams are nerve wracked over it.

I think the Pens need a few more top 5 overall draft picks to make them really interesting.

And I'm just pissed that I have to DVR it knowing full well that I won't be able to resist checking the score on my phone every 2 minutes at my daughter's choir concert.  :kicksrock:

I'm not jealous, I just don't like the Pens and their fair weather fans.

I love the "fair weather fan" take.  Yes Pittsburgh has fair weather fans.  So does Boston.  So does Philly.  So does every other city.  When a team is doing well, typically fans show up.  When a team is playing poorly, typically fans do not show up.  There are some exceptions but that's the usually the case in any city for any sport.  

I'm a huge Patriots hater but I can admit that it's due to pure jealousy.  I still respect the team.

I'd say resist the urge, but you darn well know that some guy or woman is going to talk about the game on the way to the parking lot and you're going to hear it, anyway. 

Sorry about that. Is it a good choir, at least? :shrugs:

Well, growing up in Western, PA and having a crap ton of family there, I feel I have a great perspective of how fair weather bs they are.   Most couldn't name 5 players on the team.   I mean for real, at least know how to say Malkin and Fluery names correctly.

Typical middle school choir, but they're pretty good all things considered. Blows that they have the big year-end concert at 8:00 on a Thursday period IMO; having to miss most of game 7 makes it sooo much worse.

Oh yeah Pittsburgh fans are obnoxious.  No doubt about it.  I live in Philly and I'm also annoyed by Philly fans.  I'm just saying that the fair weather BS is everywhere.  The Sixers have been a terrible product for several years now and nobody is going to the games.  Now they have some young talent and magically people will start to show up.  Philly is considered to be one of the best sports towns in the country     :shrug:     I say BS.

Ottawa empty seat fans are the best from what I've seen.
